No. There was no overspeed otherwise the clacker would go off. The flap load relief worked as advertised and made sure the plane didn't overspeed the flaps.

Plus I don't think most people would notice the flap relief working while on short final fighting a gusty day.

The pilot did the best he/she could and that's just to fly the plane.
